I am actually frightened..........Help!!!!!

It's regular for someone who's been poisoning himself. I'd go see a doctor and get an annual check-up. See where your numbers are and give him a chance to address any health concerns you have. Work with him on taking on a more healthy lifestyle and there's a lot that can be done to repair the damage you've done to your body.

Yes, all you can do is begin to live a healthier life. Go see a doctor and take care of your body. You may have to struggle with some health issues because of all the drugs you put into your system, but I think it's great that you are clean and working on getting healthy. Good-luck to you!
